1. Based on extensive feedback from buyers regarding the RO-03 preamp, we designed the RO-04 preamp. Unlike single-chip circuit designs, the RO-04 is an improved version based on the 9098 preamp circuit. It features high-quality audio processing chips manufactured in the USA and an 11-step stepped attenuator, successfully controlling EIN noise at -120dB, resulting in a significant enhancement in sound quality.
2. Many buyers have reported that the RO-03 is inconvenient to carry for outdoor recording. Therefore, the RO-04 preamp features a unique power circuit design, utilizing a Type-C power port with a 5V 1A power supply. This allows it to be powered by any power bank or phone charger, making it easy to provide power for outdoor use.
3. Additionally, the high noise floor reported by buyers when using the RO-03 was due to its use of a continuous (infinite rotation) knob, which made precise control difficult. As a result, users often accidentally set the gain too high, leading to overload distortion. To address this, the RO-04 features an 11-step stepped knob and a Trim knob for precise gain control, allowing users to accurately set the gain and prevent audio interface overload.
4. Many buyers reported difficulty finding a suitable preamp for lavalier microphones, which resulted in low audio levels during Zoom meetings. To address this, we specifically designed the RO-04 preamp with a dedicated lavalier microphone input for electret condenser lavalier mics, ensuring that users of lavalier microphones can also enjoy an excellent audio experience
5. To meet the diverse needs of buyers, the RO-04 preamp is designed with a high-impedance input for instruments, built-in 48V phantom power for condenser microphones, a maximum gain of 72dB for dynamic microphones, and 5V power supply support for electret lavalier microphones. It also features HPF (high-pass filter) and PHASE functions to enhance the user experience. Additionally, we provide a 5-year warranty to ensure buyer satisfaction and protect their rights
